1995 v North Melbourne – The Dream Start

The charity we get from the umps here is beyond belief. The current CEO goes arse-over-teakettle at about 0:20 and gets a free for it. Stuey Edwards arrives 6th or 7th and is awarded the mark. Knights gets a free on defensive 50 for having the tidiest hair. Etcetera. Speaking of the white larvae, the centre bounces are the worst you’ll ever see.

My highlight is Michael Gale’s gather at 5:20, going at top pace. I had not remembered him having such great balance and skill, but that is a moment of pure class that ultimately brings another goal.

The Tasmanians are prominent here; Chrissy Bond, the Gales and Richo. And I notice from the ad that pops up for Trust Bank that this was taped by someone here in the island state.
